若有持心、
持身不造淫欲，持眼不视淫色，
持耳不听淫声，持鼻不嗅淫香，
持舌不触淫舌，如此名为具足智慧，行八正路。
不淫净身心，喻如莲花，不著尘垢，
成… 无上大道，皆从不淫清净故得。
释迦牟尼佛
《受十善戒经》
If having upholding in mind,
uphold the body by not creating lustful desires,
uphold the eyes by not seeing lustful forms,
uphold the ears by not hearing lustful sounds,
uphold the nose by not smelling lustful smells,
uphold the tongue by not touching lustful flavours,
with such named as having complete wisdom,
for practising the Eightfold Noble Path.
Not lusting, the pure body and mind, as an analogy,
is like a lotus flower, not attached to dust and dirt,
with accomplishing… of the Unsurpassable Great Path,
this is all from not lusting, with purity thus attained.
Śākyamuni Buddha
(Receiving Ten Goodnesses’ Precepts’ Sūtra)
